We’ve been working through a variety of stitching approaches including PTGui, AutoPano from Kolor, and beta testing a product from the folks at The Foundry. In the end, the off center LensBaby lens projection as well as the very non-standard camera arrangement is making stereo stitching significantly challenging. With our production schedule moving along, we’ve decided to move forward with a monoscopic stitch using AutoPano Giga for our current iteration.
A template stitch was calculated and refined. The, the resulting XML project file was duplicated and adjusted programmatically by putting together a python script that both replicates the project for every frame of video and sets up a Batch script for AutoPano’s batch tool to render the video scene frame by frame. This will provide the basis of our live action takes in the dino documentary.
